Jai Paul #Since1989


#1

I’m loathed to stick this in ‘New Releases’ in case we’re waiting another few years for an album from Jai Paul but XL just posted a tweet, (perhaps) hinting at new music.

I really liked the singles he put out in 2011 and I did cop the leaked tracks which were really promising imo. I’m a sucker for mutant pop music which is where this gets filed in my head.

Jai Paul had become a ‘whatever happened to…’ in my circles however his brother A.K Paul has remained active and I’d read an interview with Jai where he’d said they weren’t rushing just for the sake of getting something out there, which is fair enough.

There was a fair bit of hype for him all those years ago and I expect a lot of people will still be looking forward to hearing something new. Any love for him on 55555555555555 tho?

I wonder what resemblence the finished product, if there is one, will have to those tracks we heard way back when.

They’ve been posting a lot of #since1989 posts with all sorts of artists. My guess is some build up to a 30th anniversary compilation or something similar.

Apologies, a cursory glance at their time line would have been a good place to start digging for info. :blush:

Big love for Jai Paul (at least from me)! Those leaked tracks were so so good. I know he and his brother did (likely still do) a bunch of behind-the-scenes writing for big pop artists. A while back they were reportedly opening up some sort of a creative institute (not sure how “real” it is), but last year they put out a couple of tracks with some artists (you can hear Jai sing on “Mystery”).

I’d still love hear a full album from Jai. Or at the very least just a finished version of “Rain Bot”!
